  1. Hi SF,

     

    I recieved a letter today,

     

    The gas meter in your property has been identified as being of an age that is coming to the end of its useful life. It is essential that the meter be exchanged. This work will not change your current gas supplier and all agreements between you and your gas supplier remain in place.

     

    There is no charge for this work, which takes approximately 30 minutes. Please note access to your property is required to complete this work even if your gas meter is located outside.

     

    A number of companies undertake this work on our behalf. Should you wish to confirm the identity of the engineer who calls please telephone the number given on the back of the identity card that all engineers carry.

     

    I thank you in anticipation of assisting us to complete this necessary work. If the planned date above is not convenient then you can arrange an alternative appointment via the internet on http://www.nationalgrid.com/metering or alternatively please contact us on 0845 606 6766.

     

    Yours Faithfully

    Delivery manager

     

    Anyone else had a similar letter, or had the work carried out before? Im not sure if I want to let them in, they may end up changing it only to find a fault which wasnt there before but I have to pay to put right.


  2. If 95% of people want peace and 5% want war, there will be war. That is unless the ones wanting peace actively do something to prevent it.

     

    "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing"

     

    One of my favourite quotes.

     

    Has just became one of mine aswell who/what is it from?

     

    Jose Mourinho - "It is a world that sometimes disgusts me to live in and earn a living from, but it is my world".

    I like this one also but at the end it emphasis the point made about Greed.


  3. The 17th and 18th centuries were centuries of war, so were the nineteenth and twentieth. It is already very obvious that the 21st will be a century of war too. War is the natural state, it is merely the means by which it is fought that changes.

    As I world we now have greater access and equipment to blow each other up than ever before.

    Ah well, perhaps next century will be better!:roll:

     

    You paint a dull and likely realistic picture, but I hope your wrong. With so much of the worlds poppulation wanting peace, how is it that such a small amount drag the majority into a war.

     

    Jabberwocky your last sentence hit the nail on the head, but if only a society didnt need a crisis to be distracted from "scrapping" as you put it.


  4. The most peaceable time was probably during the Roman Empire under the Nerva Antonines. When the Empire was run under the absolute power of the man in charge. Gibbon said that this was the period when nthe human race were most happy and prosperous.

     

    No democracy though. Discuss?

     

    Sounds pretty good, fair enough we will all be under the rule of the man. But atleast we will be together. Im sure it will be more complex but sounds nice in a sentence.


  5. OK some good news, I still would like to know why the problem was caused but here is a fix I found.

     

    On the website just before I click "accept and install", if instead of the actual URL I type in any random letters I can then proceed and install the add-on.

     

    I have no idea why this works but it does, if anyone can explain it to me I would greatly apprecaite it.

  6. I don't think so to be honest If all else fails theres a couple of guys who might know on a forum i'm part of (check my signature if you want to ask for myself) i'll ask them and see if anyone knows.

     

    Thanks I dont want you to go out of your way, I have in the meanwhile just asked on the forum section of the firefox site and there is also this thread. If nothing helpful comes out of the two I will join and ask on the forum your part of.

     

    Thanks
